Her piercing red eyes
peer through the darkness,
she looks for a place
to escape her thrist
for a kill.
Dark horns protrude
from her forehead,
she is a creature
of the night.
She preys upon the
souls of humankind
to make her stronger,
she is as
sly as a fox.
She sneaks up on people,
rips their hearts out
and steals their soul.
She can't hide
what she is,
she can't run away
from her need for
a fresh soul.
